Making some small adjustments around your home, and building good habits, can save lots of water.

The Office of Environment and Heritage has some great tips to help you be more water efficient.

Rainwater Tanks

Rainwater tanks collect water from your roof so it can be used for watering gardens, flushing toilets, washing clothes or topping up swimming pools.

Installing rainwater tanks can usually be done as exempt development, which means you don’t need to get Council’s permission if you follow certain guidelines. See the NSW Planning Portal for details.
